Stainless Steel Shear - 1/2in Cutting Capacity

• Made In Italy
• 1/2 Inch Capacity
• Stainless Steel Blades
• Lifetime Warranty 

The Leonard Standard Stainless Steel Shear is a lightweight, everyday pruner that is simple to use and cuts clean. Its 1-3/4 inch stainless steel blades give you smooth action for quick snips, and the 1/2 inch cutting capacity covers most flower stems and typical garden clean-up. At just 4.3 oz and 7.625 inches long, it’s easy to keep in an apron pocket or tool belt and doesn't feel bulky. We usually hand this one to anyone who wants a dependable shear for bouquets and general clipping without stepping up to a heavier bypass pruner.

The coil spring pops the blades back open for fast, repeat cuts, which is a big help when you’re deadheading or harvesting herbs. A simple thumb latch locks it closed for safer storage and carry. The stainless blades are rated around Rockwell 52 +/- 54, giving a good balance of edge holding and ease of sharpening for routine use.

Product Tips

• Use it for green stems, florals, and herbs; switch to loppers for woody branches over 1/2 inch.
• Wipe blades after sap-heavy cuts to keep the action smooth.
• A quick dab of light oil at the pivot helps prevent squeaks and stiff closing.
• Lock the thumb latch when carrying in a pocket or apron.
• Touch up the edge with a fine sharpener rather than waiting until it drags.
